(p) = professional

In 1954 there was an under-18 section which was won by Ronnie Shade.

In 1955, an international match between England and Scotland was arranged the day before the start of the championship, although the match had a lower age limit than that used in the championship.[47] Another match was arranged the following year, although the result was decided on holes rather than matches.[48] There was no match in 1957 but it was arranged again in 1958 and 1959.[49][50] From 1960, the event was contested for the Alex Mackay Memorial Trophy.[51]

In 1967, a second match was arranged, between Great Britain & Ireland and the Continent of Europe, later called the EGA Trophy. This was played the day before the start of the championship with the England/Scotland match being played a day earlier.[52] The same system was retained for a number of years while the EGA Trophy match was played before the championship. In 1976, and on a number of occasions from 1980, the EGA Trophy match was not played in connection with the championship, and on those occasions, the England/Scotland match was played the day before the championship rather than two days before.

The girls section of the British Youths Open Championship was later called the British Girls' Stroke-play Championship. It was played over 54 holes. In 1963, the event was taken over by the Scottish Ladies' Golfing Association and called the Scottish Girls' Open Stroke-play Championship.[53] The Scottish under-21 event was played from 1963 until 2015, when it was dropped from the schedule. The last winner was Cloe Frankish.[54]
